BlackRock, HSBC, And Standard Chartered To Speak At HSC Asset Management As TradFi Meets Digital Assets In Hong Kong This April
In Brief
HSC Asset Management brings together 50+ global finance leaders in Hong Kong on April 23 to debate stablecoins, RWA tokenisation, and the future of institutional digital assets.
HSC Asset Management, a premier conference dedicated to bridging cryptocurrency and institutional finance, will take place in Hong Kong on April 23, 2026. The event positions itself as one of the region’s key platforms for dialogue at the intersection of digital assets, stablecoins, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, PayFi, traditional finance (TradFi), and regulatory frameworks.
Hosted at the Hopewell Hotel, the conference is designed as a curated, high-level forum for investors, financial institutions, policymakers, and infrastructure providers at the forefront of the TradFi-digital asset convergence.
The event aims to provide a focused environment for substantive discussion and deal-making. The agenda will center on four core pillars:
Global Risk & Capital Markets
Exploring macroeconomic repricing, cross-border capital flows, and Hong Kong’s role as a gateway for institutional capital into Asia.
Stablecoins & Tokenization
Covering stablecoins as an emerging monetary layer, real-world asset liquidity, and the tokenization of financial instruments across both public and private markets.
Regulation & Compliance
Examining fragmented global regulatory frameworks, jurisdictional approaches across Hong Kong, Japan, and other key markets, and the legal infrastructure required for institutional participation.
The Future of Financial Institutions
Analyzing how traditional banks, asset managers, and capital market intermediaries are rebuilding their infrastructure around digital assets, blockchain-based settlement, and decentralized financial systems.
HSC Asset Management is expected to host over 50 speakers and more than 2,000 registrations, with the majority of attendees comprising C-suite executives and senior decision-makers. Participants will come from across venture capital and crypto funds, asset management, private equity, banking, payment providers, as well as stablecoin issuers and blockchain infrastructure platforms.
